No: There can be a number of reasons why your knee buckles when kicking a football. It can be an ACL injury, but it can also be an unstable meniscal tear, or even a pinched nerve in your lower back. It is hard to say without more specific information, but it sounds like you should have your knee examined by a trained professional.
