International Career
Lorca has represented the Chilean national team at the U-20, U-23, and senior levels. He took part in the 2005 South American Youth Championship, which qualified for the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. However, he did not make the trip to Europe due to injury. In 2006 he started to appear in friendly games with the adult squad and went on to be included by Nelson Acosta in the squad for 2007 Copa América despite not being a regular in his team at the time, Colo-Colo. He then got call ups from Marcelo Bielsa during the 2010 World Cup qualifying stage but remained an unused substitute in official games. However, he did play all the games in the 2008 Toulon Tournament, where he scored one goal. His only adult National Team goal to date was scored against Jamaica in a 2007 friendly which Chile won 1–0.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
