I dislike football and I realized a few days ago that a win for the US would bring me the most utility - the largest number of soccer fans will [probably] be upset this way, which should decrease the global popularity of the sport slightly.
At any rate, if you are purely maximazing global utility, then the conclusion looks sounds.
I don't really follow soccer. Why would a US win upset people?
