A way to do it more easily (don't know if you like it, though: please
let me know) would be the following (I'll go with an example instead
of awkwardly trying to describe the abstract procedure):

 1=33 Random team from Group A
 2=34 Random team from Group B
 3=35 Random team from Group C
 4=36 Random team from Group D
 5=37 Random team from Group E
 6=38 Random team from Group F
 7=39 Random team from Group G
 8=40 Random team from Group H
 9=41 Random team from Group A
10=42 Random team from Group B
...
17=49 Random team from group A
...
25=57 Random team from group A
...
32=64 Random team from group H

Rule for default goal: a team n starts
1-0 against teams from n+1 to n+15
0-1 against team n+17 to n+31 (is a consequence of the previous line)
0-0 against team n+16

So each team is better than one team in its group, equal to another
one, worse than the remaining one. And in the whole competition it's
better than fifteen teams (two in each of the other groups) and worse
than fifteen (again, two in each of the other groups).
