some people have argued that being in a World Cup squad but not playing still passes . This depends on one's interpretation of the word 'participated'. For me, my interpretation is that participation involves more than just sitting in the stands. If, during a game of any sport, I sat on the sidelines watching, I would argue that I am not participating in that fixture. I think  is what we should be looking at in this particular case, as well as the fact that he doesn't actually meet NRU as he has never actually played for Romania or any leagues that would qualify him under NRU. Since NRU and GNG are clearly not met, I believe that this takes precedence over any presumed notability that being named in a WC squad might give
