Kewell cant wait for Cup final

Harry Kewell is relishing the prospect of playing on two of football's biggest stages over the next few weeks.

The Liverpool winger begins what he hopes will be a memorable period with tomorrow's FA Cup final against West Ham at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

Then Kewell will link up with his Australia team-mates for the World Cup finals in Germany next month, the Socceroos making a return to the tournament after a 32-year wait.

For Kewell, who has undoubtedly played his best football this season for the Reds after joining them from Leeds three years ago, the two cups are a dream rather than something to be feared.

"People ask which makes me more nervous - the FA Cup or World Cup," said Kewell.

"Actually it's neither, because I enjoy the big stage - and that's why I am looking forward to both.
