Head to head should be the tie breaker in all sports. It's the logical way of determining team placement.
It's not about who is the best in one single game, it's about who is the best over the three group games. Head to head works in other sports because in Baseball, and football you don't play the same teams as everyone in your division for example the Saints may play the Cowboys one year while the Falcons may play Washington.
In soccer: In the World Cup groups,club tournaments, and most actual leagues around the world. Everyone plays the same teams at least once or twice sometime three maybe four times in the smaller leagues so Goal Differential is a view on how a team did over a competition rather than just one game.

meh
in a group-based system with arbitrary points rewarded for ties/wins, it's really not
goal differential gives you a much better idea of how you played over the entire group stage
soccer is not a sport that lends itself to "one/done" formats. that is why the FA cup always has crazy teams left at the end
