MELBOURNE (Reuters) - A new-look Australia will seek the consolation of a successful Asian Cup title defence after their disappointing group round exit from the World Cup earlier this year.

Under former Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk, the Socceroos bowed out of Russia winless and with only two goals from penalties, underlining the team's struggles to score against quality defences.
