A win for the US would probably increase the interest in soccer in the US, which I think would be a net loss by your standards.
I live in the UK, so I don't care much if soccer interest increases slightly in the States, since that's sort of like caring about poverty in Palo Alto, while living in a hut in rural Africa.
At any rate, I am fairly sure that most countries which care about football will be very upset if the US of all countries wins it.
