Confused on the whole tournament bracket announcement FIFA made for 2026.

There was a big deal made as to how teams were laid out on the group stage, with the big teams supposedly unable to meet until at least the quarterfinals/semifinals. Yet here we are at the round of 32, with Argentina possibly playing Spain if Uruguay wins.

So did I misunderstand something? It would suck to have such an epic showdown so early in the knockoff round.
