In my ideal world they wouldn't allow ties in the group stage but I can obviously see why that's highly improbable for fatigue reasons. In my opinion a head to head defeat SHOULD have eliminated Ghana. They lost to us and tied Germany. They shouldn't get to make the next round over a team they lost to just because our tie was 2-2 while theirs was 3-3, that seems dumb to me. I hope we can both agree that head to head should at the very least matter more than total goals.

Obviously just my opinion, I can see why goal differential makes more practical sense in terms of ensuring that games actually matter; however, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth because imo it doesn't really prove the better team. Head to head just feels like a definitive answer: team A is better because they won against team B.

Putting goal difference and goals scored above head-to-head is to encourage more attacking football. Teams have incentive not to sit on a 1-0 lead and try to run up the score as much as they can. Which in turn would theoretically open up space for the other team as well.

If you want head-to-head as the main decider you might as well go for a straight knockout tournament like March Madness. You can't look at USA and Ghana in a vacuum. The two teams that advance have been the best across the entire group stage. Having a group stage gives teams more games (this tournament only comes around every four years, it would suck to be one and done) and gives the chance to overcome one bad game.
