Al AIN (Reuters) - Australia made the worst possible start to the defence of their Asian Cup crown on Sunday as Graham Arnold's Socceroos were handed a 1-0 defeat by unfancied Jordan. But you've got to give full credit to Jordan and they've shown that they had a lot of fight." Vital Borkelmans' Jordan were resolute in defence against an Australia side that struggled to turn their domination into chances. The Socceroos went into halftime trailing by a goal and were fortunate not to be further behind. Australia next face Palestine on Jan. 11 while Jordan will take on Syria.
