Lets say this is a group
Brazil
Germany
England
France
that would be a hell of a good group but anyways
if brazil ties England, france and germany
and England ties france and germany
and France ties germany
then their points would look like this
Brazil 3 points
Germany 3 points
England 3 points
France 3 points
how does FIFA decide who advances to the next round?

Probably a lottery or a coin flip.
From the Wiki, the tiebreakers are
"If teams are even on points at the end of group play, the tied teams will be ranked as follows:
-greater number of points obtained in matches between the tied teams
-goal difference in matches between the tied teams
-greater number of goals scored in matches between the tied teams
-goal difference in all group matches
-greater number of goals scored in all group matches
-a play-off on neutral ground, with extra time and penalties if necessary (in qualifying)
-drawing of lots (at the final event)"

they will decide by goal difference
for example if
bra 1-1 eng
bra 1-1ger
bra 2-2fra
fra 3-3eng
fra 2-2ger
ger0-0eng
then it will look like
bra 3 points 4 goal
fra 3 points 7 goal
ger 3 points 3 goal
eng 3 points 4 goal
then france advances and eng and bra have a playoff match

advance the team which have a better goals diference, if england won 5-0 and the rest won 1-0 england advance, but its very hard that it happen,,, the problem would be if all tie 0-0 ,,,in this case ruled the best rank in the FIFA world rank of nations.,...

with number of goals scored.

Total points scored must come into it.

If this happens they will have other things to worry about because Hell will have also frozen over.
