In time, You shouldn't until it has completely healed and there is no pain what so ever.

Just rest it and you should be fine.

I suggest you jump right into soccer. your leg injury is merely an obstacle. and remember.. obstacles are things you notice when you take your eyes off the goal

Yep. Just might have to wait a while. Gradually come back to playing. First 5min then 10min so on.

NO, maybe at the park with friends, but not competitively, you'll risk tearing it again and then you'll really be screwed. Im sorry to hear that man. = ( ill pray for you though

My brother also tore his right ACL. He is playing great. He had a surgery and is recovering quickly. Remember the it is always darkest before the dawn.

You better wait a long time until it is fully healed. ask your doctor. if you play again and it isnt fully healed and you fk it up then say goodbye to soccer forever. first ask your doctor, if he says you will be able to, then wait and once it is completely healed start playing little by little. at first just some passes and after a while a friendly game. it probably wont ever be the same as before though. If it was me i'd leave soccer behind and do something else because i value my body more.

If you can walk and jog you can practice and see if you feel pain but do not force yourself. If you cant last 2 hours without feeling pain than maybe you should rest up till it gets better. I don't suggest playing competitively because the risk of messing your leg up even more is very high. I'm sure you will be able to play the same once you are fully healed.

Hey, I also torn my ACL and did play at a competitve level. Personally, I think if you rehabed hard and be extremely gentle to hit during healing process, you should be able to make a come back. However!, make sure you get fitted for a proper brace and understand what the potentials of your knee is as every knee may be differnt.
