I respectfully disagree. I much prefer the first tiebreaker being goal difference. It gives meaning to each match and prevents teams from throwing the goalkeeper forward in the dying minutes any time they're down a goal. It also gives teams that are up three or four goals a reason to keep attacking, which makes things much more interesting in my opinion. I'd much rather a team be rewarded or penalized for their performance throughout the season as opposed to getting relegated or promoted on the basis of one or two good or bad results.
