Exactly - anyone who has ever played in a competitive tournament should know/understand this. This happens all the time that there are 3+ teams that have the same record, but because they have not all played each other, the first tie break (head to head) cannot apply and you must then move on to whatever is next (sometimes goals against, sometimes goal differential). THAT is the real thing that must be paid attention to in these tournaments as there is quite a difference between goals against and goal differential in terms of teams' performances.
