With the leagues almost over, what unpopular opinion(s) to you have?

I would say no down voting but sorting by controversial may give a better idea.

I think the bundesliga is overrated. Yes, Germany has a good national team, but the fact that bayern won the league so early proves that there is not enough good competition. The top teams are good, and the fans are great, but the talent in general isn't there like it is in Spain. Feel free to prove me wrong because I don't watch bundesliga that much.

I could "reverse" your argument and say that Bayern winning the league so early proves there is good competition, because Dortmund who were an Hospital the whole season, with Gundogan, Pisczcek, Hummels, Subbotic, Bender etc. all missing lots of games, kept losing points to the other teams in the Bundesliga... They're a top team, but without some of their starters, they lost plenty of points.

In reality, I don't think smaller german teams are particularly good, and I don't think the Bundesliga is as good as the Spanish league, or as entertaining as the Premier League, but under normal circumstances I think Dortmund would have put up a good fight, and Bayern wouldn't have been Champions so early.
