Jorge Villafaña says no one calls him sueño anymore. Which is too bad because the nickname, inspired by the TV talent show “Sueño MLS,” fits a soccer career that has truly been a dream.
It started when Villafaña, then known as Jorge Flores, bested more than 2,000 other contestants to win a tryout with an MLS team, leading to a 14-year journey that saw him win four trophies in two countries and make 21 appearances with the U.S. national team.
And now, in what could be the final chapter of that story, he is home coming to play with the Galaxy.
