[casbahman's response deleted because I want to
address something specific in the above section of
Kevin's original post.]

If Marco or any other player, green carded or not, has
children born in the US the United States considers
them United States citizens.  There used to be a
period of waiting while that status was temporary
until the child was old enough (16 or 18) to make a
choice of citizenship I think but I do not know if
that is still in effect.  Any child born in the US can
be considered elligible to play for the US NT programs
right up until he/she has chosen to play for another
countrie's national team.

My guesses would be:

1. Unbalanced schedule makes goal differential less useful (Of course it
also has the same effect on points).

2. Goal differential might be easier to manipulate (teams may find it
advantageous to intentionally allow goals to affect the playoff seeding
and face an opponent of their choice).

3. That's how the other leagues here do it.
