Juan Culio's 2 goals bring calls for citizenship

Juan Culio's two-goal performance for CFR Cluj in its upset win at AS Roma has prompted calls for the Argentine to receive Romanian citizenship.

The 25-year-old midfielder scored a goal in each half Tuesday to lead Cluj to a come-from-behind 2-1 win at Roma in its first ever Champions League game.

"I've called (the authorities) and said that if there are some players who are playing well we should naturalize them," Romanian Football Federation head Mircea Sandu said Wednesday.

Juan Culio has previously indicated interest in becoming a Romanian citizen, and Romania coach Victor Piturca said Tuesday he would like him in the team.
