Using goal differential as tiebreaker forces teams like the U.S. to score as many goals as possible. In youth tournaments, to discourage piling on, the goal differential that counts is capped at a specific number, but then you have to have some other way to break ties.

13 goals is a world cup record; I don't think we are going to have a problem with goal differential, if that ever even became a tiebreaker.  But again, I'm ok with scoring as many goals as possible (it's not our job to stop us, it's Thailand's job to stop us), but I do think that after, maybe the fifth goal, then just celebrate with an understated high five instead of something more in your face.
