Is goal differential the first tie breaker in all forms of soccer?

Seems a bit silly to have that over head to head

La Liga is head to head first

Pretty much. Goal differential is usually the best way to determine who was better throughout the event, considering all teams play each other.

Champions League and the Euro league are the only other tournaments that use groups that I can think of and yes goal difference is the first tie breaker. Then away goals come into play which is nonexistent in the World Cup for obvious reasons

For many of my youth tournaments, goals against was the first tiebreaker. Why? So teams wouldn't have incentive to pile on goals against horrible teams.
And for many, the scoring system was as follows. Teams could score a max of ten pts per game
6 pts for a win
3 pts for a tie
1 pt each for each goal up to 3
1 pt for a shutout
It was a great system for youth soccer.

Head to head should be the tie breaker in all sports. It's the logical way of determining team placement.
