今度の日曜日、久しぶりにサッカーを見に行かない？チケットが2枚手に入ったんだ。
Would you like to go watch a soccer match next Sunday? It's been a while. I got two tickets.
あ、それって日本代表の試合？すごく人気でチケット取れなかったやつだよね。
Oh, is that the Japan national team match? It's so popular that I couldn't get tickets for it.
そう！たまたま懸賞で当たったんだ。君、サッカー好きだったと思って。
Yes! I happened to win them in a prize draw. I thought you liked soccer.
嬉しい！誘ってくれてありがとう。ただ、その日は午後から実家に帰る予定があって。
I'm so happy! Thanks for inviting me. However, I have plans to go back to my parents' house that afternoon.
そうなの？それなら仕方ないね。誰か他の人を探してみるよ。
Oh really? Then it can't be helped. I'll search for someone else.
あ、ちょっと待って。親に電話してみたら、時間はいつでもいいって言ってたから、午前中から夕方まで空けられるよ。
Oh, wait a minute. I called my parents and they said any time is fine, so I can clear my schedule from morning until evening.
え、本当に？それなら一緒に行けるね！
Eh, really? Then we can go together!
よかった。スタジアムの熱気を肌で感じるのを楽しみにしてるよ。
Great. I'm looking forward to feeling the heat of the stadium firsthand.

Let's meet at the station that day, have lunch, and then head to the stadium.
賛成！じゃあ、当日の詳細を後から連絡して。
Agreed! Please contact me with the details later.
