Yeah, well I wouldn't play him personally either, because I think he sucks Low probably wants to play 3 CMFs and doesn't have much of a choice. Not a smart thing to do if you don't have enough players fit. He probably has his reasons though.

I'm not sure what he might see in Mustafi, but there must be something there if he's really willing to put him in before KG or Durm.

He must be impressing in training. You can't really say that Loew simply rates him highly (as some have said), because he wasn't even planning to take him to Brazil initially. Still, has the kid ever played as a fullback before? His performance is probably more Loew's fault than Mustafi's...

Mustafi played RB few times before
And this is why he was the best choice for Löw considering that he wants as CB rightback

Sadly this proves that Löw is memorizing his plans but not understanding them (cb rb goes out ,cb rb has to come in )

He did not think of
1-Lack of Experience and being Nervous
2-Mustafi is a CB , few matches dont make him fit as fullback
3-lack of creativity in midfield + Ghanas speed on the sides would have made Schweinsteiger in and Lahm to RB or even Grosskreutz as RB a more reasonable choice

Now commenting on things after they had happened is an easy thing to do ,and had Klose score his chance in the last few mins and we had won, criticism wouldnt have been this harsh

But i think most of us knew that Subbing Mustafi in was not the right thing to do as soon as it has happened , and we were right

[MoFattal]

I think Lahm doesn't want to play RB and has agreed with JLo on that.

Great, he'll continue with awful performances.

Lahm was so desperate on midfielder - mistakes, mistakes and just mistakes. Average player in central midfield, on the back world-class player in the last 10 years.

Loew needs to put real fullbacks instead of CBs as fullbacks. The wingers have no help to give them width and Germany become easily susceptible to counters

Also not helping that Ozil is playing in the wings. He's pretty useless in defense and can be easily outrunned.

It's been mentioned often here, that one of Low's biggest issues was to only bring along one true striker. I still don't understand why he snubbed Stefan Kiessling, who's had two solid seasons in the BL. He's tall, something Germany lacks with Gotze, Muller or Ozil, has good finishing instincts and certainly is a likeable lad. Had Low given Kiessling some NT playing time, he might have been a decent replacement for Reus, after he got injured. Instead, Mustafi's on the squad? WTF?

Even Volland or Lassoga not to mention Mario Gomez...

Because for Loew, Germany's best players are not playing in Germany. Or like Del Bosque he only watches Bayern and BVB games so he doesn't know anyone else.

Loew (and his favorites) is the dead-weight that will prevent Germany from winning the prize.

I've been saying that Ozil does not deserve to be in team for months! How can you call a player who did nothing for his club since December/January?
Gotze too was nothing special...
On the other hand Schurrle did wonders as Grosskreutz and even to such extent Poldi.

You forgot Khedira I still want to bang my head whenever I see him. It's basic NT coaching. Players should be performing in their club to be called for the country.

[FCBayernMunchen]

Khedira starting is more illogical than Mustafi if you ask me.
