like south africa and canada ended up in same match
?! both brazil and japan are better than south africa and canada.
Did you see the Round of 32 bracket?
FIFA did exactly what you said above.The 8 group winners will play against the 8 best 3rd placed teams.
Out of the 12 runners up, 8 teams will play against each other, South Africa v Canada, while the remaining 4 runners up will face the remaining 4 group winners like Brazil v Japan.
