MANHATTAN — New Yorkers still experiencing World Cup withdrawal symptoms will have a chance to recapture the excitement, minus the vuvuzelas, as the US Men's National Soccer Team takes on Brazil at the New Meadowlands Stadium Tuesday night.

Team USA's line up features 15 players from the World Cup team, including goalkeeper Tim Howard, star Landon Donovan and tournament Captain Carlos Bocanegra.

More than 65,000 tickets had been sold as of Monday, according to the Washington Post. Seats were still available, for $40 to $295, as of 4 p.m. on gameday.

Those who hope to attend should leave their vuvuzelas at home as the headache-inducing horns were specifically banned from the venue.

Brazil, ranked No. 3, and the US, No. 13, didn't face off in South Africa, though the Brazilians did advance one round beyond the Americans.

The two teams last squared off at the 2009 FIFA Federations Cup final where the US lost 3-2 in a heartbreaker.

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. and fans can catch the action on ESPN2, Univision and ESPN Deportes Radio.
