The top seeds ( first team in groups) play the others team's in the listed drawn order, eg. Portugal vs Spain for starters.
The winner vs runner-up L16 cross-overs are from Group A vs B, C vs D, E vs F and G vs H.
Best bit was when Gary Lineker rather unnecessary said to Fabio Cannavaro that it wae nice to have someone from Italy involved in the World Cup, at which point Cannavaro drew a slight curveball, and might as well have said "well, smart arse, find some place to stick Serbia."
His computer screen helping him ( OK, making him ) jump Serbia 3 groups along, he then says that's the first time tonight we've had such an issue this evening. Well Gary, not since Denmark from the previous pot.
These computers are too good. Making Gary have to think on the spot and there being an absolute ****-up would have been entertaining.
Not of course that I wished ill for Mr Lineker who has lambasted FIFA for years and then turns up to host the World Cup draw, hmm.
