"On March 12, 2006, the flag was changed once again to the one depicted in the top image. The main changes are the addition of an eighth star, which President Hugo Chávez has called the "Bolívar Star" in honor of Simón Bolívar who had himself proposed the eighth star in 1817. This eighth star recognizes the contributions of the 19th century colonial province of Guayana (now one of the administrative regions of Venezuela), which joined in the fight for independence shortly after the original seven."
i seriously believe bolivar deserves that star, but hey this thread is about soccer 
. Let's go back to the main subject 
The Seven stars are supposed to represent the seven original provinces. Tell me what the hell does a star representing bolivar has to do with being an original province?
Ok no more offtopic posts
