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

Just seems like it would favor a more aggressive style or situation versus head-to-head. In a World Cup format if the tiebreaker comes down to the head-to-head then you know when those two teams played each other both of them had something to play for and neither of them had a layup so that wouldn't affect the outcome of the head-to-head
