If you've a relative or close friend actually playing for the opposing country, then it's OK.

In the cycling events I'll likely be rooting for the British and/or Spanish teams over the American team this year. I was trying ot think of another time that I had openly rooted against an American team and I couldn't think of one.

But really, its not so much I'll be rooting against the American team as I'll be rooting for some team besides the Americans.
