He was a regular member of Costa Rica during the 90's, even being the captain during the 1997 Copa América. At 19 years old, González played with Costa Rica's national team at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, where he scored a goal against Czechoslovakia, becoming the youngest player to score a goal in that World Cup. In 1989, as captain of Costa Rica's U-20 national team, he played in the under-20 Football World Youth Championship held in Saudi Arabia, where he scored a goal against Colombia.
Currently, González just retired and works as head coach of Saprissa. In his playing days with Saprissa, he won five national championships and three CONCACAF Champions Cup, and was part of the team that played the 2005 FIFA Club World Championship Toyota Cup, where Saprissa finished third behind São Paulo Futebol Clube and Liverpool F.C..
