When Frank Lowy stepped down as FFA chairman in November last year, he was sure of soccers place in Australia.We were number four and now were definitely number three, knocking on number two ... we are at the ceiling of number two, he said.What Tuesdays $364 million broadcast agreement with Fox Sports revealed is that soccer still has some way to claim second spot.The AFL and the NRL are the runaway giants of Australian sport, yielding $417 million and $360 million annually from their recently-inked broadcast deals.Soccer is a distant third, pocketing $57.6 million from Fox Sports each year until 2023, a number to be boosted by a free-to-air component to be sold early in 2017.Steven Lowy, overseeing his first broadcast deal since succeeding his father as chairman, said there was no disappointment from his end.Its a very competitive market here with other codes. Australians love many sports ... and we believe we have the ability to grow more than any of them, he said.Football sits with a very high-growth trajectory. The first A-League games were in 2005, so were young.Audiences, crowds and club memberships are up.Were coming from a lower base but we now have a major capital injection to grow.The A-League deal puts the ARU and its $57 million annual agreement into fourth place among Australias football codes.But of course, broadcast agreements arent everything.FFA rightly celebrated an Australian Sports Commission report which confirmed soccer was Australias most popular club sport to play.Lowy Jr said the new injection of funds would allow more money at all levels of the game - national teams, national competitions and local soccer.This six-year agreement gives us the certainty to continue to implement our strategy to grow the Hyundai A-League and the Westfield W-League and invest more in grassroots football development and the womens game, he said.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Lewis Hamilton says he is 100 percent fit ahead of this weekends U.S. Grand Prix despite skipping a tyre test last week with an injured foot.Hamilton was scheduled to test Pirellis 2017 tyres in Barcelona last Wednesday but pulled out at the last minute to rest his foot. He revealed that it was an ongoing injury related to his training regime.I am 100 percent and feeling great, he said. I basically had an injury that Ive been carrying generally all year long, in both feet. Just induced by running.Unfortunately the physio said that it just takes a lot of stretching and it just heals over a long time. At the time I woke up in the morning, I was feeling quite a lot of pain the day before, and it hadnt diminished, so there was very little ... the most important thing was to be fresh for here and feeling better for here. This is actually the first week that its felt good.Hamilton also visited Mercedes factory on Tuesday last week to celebrate the teams third constructors title.Honestly, its kind-of daunting when you go back to the two factories because theres so many people. I remember joining the team and having to stand... theyre like we want to introduce you to everyone, and having to stand in front of 800 people at the first place and then 500 people at the next place and speak to them.ddddddddddddThats always a difficult thing. But then, after youve grown to know everyone and youve gone on the journey that I have with this team and reached the success, its an incredibly proud moment for us to stand up there and show our appreciation -- because those guys are not travelling like us but they are working crazy hours to enable us to get off the line, to be up the front and win these championships. And it takes a huge amount of work for these people to come together and every single individual operate at the best they can possibly do.I remember joining this team and I wouldnt be surprised if it was the majority of the people that were in here, said that it wasnt the right decision. I had the belief that this team would really go somewhere and Ive been a part of that journey and very proud of it. It was incredible. Everyone was just so happy - and now theyre turning all of those energies to next year. ' ' '
