This is why I most likely won't move to South America, it's impossible to watch sports without commentators like this I think  (I mean, dude, tell me who made the goal, what it means etc, you know, be a commentator )

I don't think it goes like that, there can't be more than 2 European teams in the same group.

Yes, it goes like that but with no more than 2 UEFA teams (and no more than 1 team from any other confederation) in the same group...it's similar to the Champions League draw.

It was indirect free kick, the keeper touched the ball and made it valid.

Didn't even notice that it was indirect. That's one of the few times where you hate the goalie for trying to make a save!
