Errata (Rev A): This does not affect how you pick the Round Robin matches, but the last two matches in each group have the match # transposed (e.g., DEN-FRA is #33 not 34 and SEN-URU is #34 not 33). This has now been corrected.
Note: The 16 teams you pick to reach the Round of 16 are independent of how you pick the Round Robin matches. (e.g., you could hate FRANCE and have them lose their 3 round-robin games but since you want points, you can still pick them to win the group and reach the Round of 16)
