Group B is settled. Venezuela is the winner; Mexico limped over the finish line as the second-best of the also-rans. Germany will like its chances of advancing as one of the better third-placed teams from the group stage, though it hasn't provided many reasons for anyone believe it is capable of sticking around beyond the round of 16.

Venezuela 1-0 Mexico

Mexico will feel like it has been improving as this tournament as progressed, but its results are not all that impressive: a narrow win over Vanuatu, a tie with a lackluster Germany, and a loss to the only team in Group B that has looked consistently capable of winning games.
