International career

Talonen made her senior Finland women's national football team debut in March 2004 at a 4–0 defeat to China in the Algarve Cup. Her goalscoring exploits with FC Honka earned Talonen a place in the national squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2005 in North West England. She played in two matches as the Finns reached the semi-final.

At UEFA Women's Euro 2009 in Finland, Talonen featured in the hosts' attack. She was involved in a clash of heads with England's Faye White during Finland's 3–2 quarter-final defeat.

In June 2013 Talonen was named in national coach Andrée Jeglertz's Finland squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013. At the tournament Talonen played as a centre forward, although she had been playing on the right wing for her club team.
