The Socceroos will embrace facing unfamiliar opponents Indonesia in the Asian Cup round of 16, and have no qualms over the daunting prospect of either South Korea or Saudi Arabia awaiting in the quarter-finals.
Australia and Indonesia will meet for the first time since the Socceroos claimed a 1-0 Asian Cup qualifying win in Brisbane in 2010 - making the world No.146 a fresh challenge for Graham Arnold's current charges.
"It's really exciting, obviously, to have a new opponent in Asia," midfielder Jackson Irvine told AAP.
