It seems to be the same schedule they released back in February and then again in July (with knockout match assignments for each group).
That is an American thing. Even if TM is the underlying engine, FIFA has always operated and charged as a Swiss company (which they are) who have strict anti fee/gouging/tax laws.

I suggest you wait especially if it's for the WC. Get your proof of accommodation and game tickets, flights etc before applying.
