if two teams have the same number of points in the group stage (i.e. 5 points for on win and two ties), what is the tiebreaker system? Goal differential, head to head, etc....? Thanks!

Okay, can people that have absolutely no idea stop answering questions on this thing? It's making a lot of people confused...
Here is the full and accurate answer:
a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows (this portion has more importance when more than two teams are tied):
a) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
b) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
c) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
Final tiebreaker:
-Drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup.

Here is the tiebreaking:
If two or more teams finish level on points at the end of the first round stage, a series of criteria determines their finishing order in the group table.
The first is who has the superior goal difference over the group games.
Should the teams still be level, whichever team has scored the highest number of goals will advance, or if that fails, it will come down to which team took most points when they played each other.
As a final resort, if none of these factors can separate the teams, the World Cup organising committee will draw lots.

It goes by goal differential first, then head to head. If still a tie, then they go further to break the tie. FIFA.com might have some more information under the laws of the game.

Actually, it is head to head first, than superior goal differencial, than it is who scored more goals, than who allowed less goals and after the commitee decides.

Goal differential is the first tie-breaker
