I guess one could argue a superior attack in 2018 compared to the previous WC negates the need to Neuer to be on the field and playing a Sweeper
Germany has the Bayern back line and most of the German opponents will try countering. Can't feel too confident bout that

I have a similar feeling. I think Germany should be a real force for EURO 2020.
This World Cup could go really bad for the Germans. The Coach’s stubbornness and favoritism is what I think will cost Germany dearly in Russia this year.

What do you mean? Mustafi started one game the entire 2014 World Cup(against Algeria) and only did so because Hummels was ill. The two important decisions that Low made were to drop Gotze for Klose and to drop Mertesacker, move Boateng(who, instead of Mustafi, was playing RB) to CB, move Lahm to RB, and start both Schweinsteiger and Khedira as CM. Neither decision had anything to do with Mustafi or his availability.
The whole "we only won because Mustafi was injured" is complete bullcrap that was made up to make Low look inflexible.
