Default Hypothetical question for Utilitarians.

I made a thread asking if its ok to bribe the refferee on the quarter-final of a wolrd cup match between Brazil and Sweden. The thread was ignored.
The thing is that Brazil has like 200 millions habitants while Sweden has only 9 million ppl.
On top of that Brazil is a country with a lot of poverty, and ppl simply love football there, the boost they get each time Brazil wins a world cup match is unbeliable.
On the other hand Sweden is a rich country and ppl dont really get that happier if sweden win.
So, any utilitarian should support the idea of bribing the refferre so that he favors Brazil over Sweden.

Am I wrong? Or am I right?
