After jumping for a header, my left leg came step down first, and i heard something like a rubber band stretch then pop. I look down at my knee, i saw it bend outwards. So i just dropped to the ground i was in seriously in a burning pain. i couldn t put any weight on my left knee, I went to the E.R i got X-rays and no bones were broken. Is my soccer career over?

hello
That waslong time ago in 2013 that you injured, what of the period after that till now-what were the symptoms, could you walk? was knee locked at anypoint of movement, have you had an MRI done?
If not then I may suggest a visit to knee surgeon for MRI for any meniscal, cruciate ligaments ijury to knee, if possible an arthroscopic examination.Torn meniscus and ligaments if found can be repaired or replaced or reconstruct of antr cruciates with carbon filament synthetic ligament or reinforcement, this is for the surgeon to decide and possibly, with adequate investigations, treatment may be successful to put you back on soccer field. But you must approach a skilled knee surgeon who handles sports related injurys and is well experienced in repair surgery with latest knowhow,so try to engage at a specialized centre
Best wishes
