How are in-group matchups determined after the draw?

When the 8 groups are set, are they seeded 1-4? Seems like after the first wave of games in each group, there have been a lot of winners v winners and losers v losers, leading to "elimination" type games.
Do they anticipate who the think will win the first two games and try to pair them up for the next wave, doing the same with the anticipated losers?

I'm not going to explain this as well as others can. They don't "pick the groups after the 8 seeds like, say, the NCAA baseball tournament.
They seperation seeding and location (or, they don't want too many teams from the same confederation in one group) and pick from there for each group.
In a round robin scenario where the top two go through, of course there are going to be "elimination matches". But it's not easy to predict who will be in these matches. I mean, I wouldn't have picked Uruguay to be in this "elimination" match. Most people expected costa Rico
