Which country has the most households with a soccer ball?

According to USA today Sweden leads the world with 61% of households in Sweden owning a soccer ball.

Surprisingly, 41% of American households own a soccerball.

I have to wonder about the accuracy of this survey as I would think the UK or Brazil would rank pretty high on this survey.

There's several demographic factors that come into play of course.

I think it is pretty obvious that China has the most balls.

Approximate Total population = 1 billion
Approximate Percentage of Males = 50%
Approximate Number of Balls per Male = 2

1 billion * 0.50 * 2 = 1 billion

Actually, because of the whole one child per family rule in China that was instituted, the percentage of China's population that is male is well above 50%, but you also have to take into account one-balled freaks, eunechs, and those people who have undecended testes.

I´m Brazilian. My son has... 20 balls or so.

Every kid has a ball.
