text: if a sports game is tied... can you say it's a close game, or does it have to be one point different to be a c consindered a 'close' game? i think a tie is a close game... my buddy bets it's not close if it tie... then it's a tie game...  i would print this page of your responses out to prove it to him ok, this should put it into prespective for both of you.  granted i know sooooo much about sports.   it is defenetly a close game, and not just because you say so.  it is a close game, because it is tied.  get it?  you tie a shoe to close the gap.  otherwise the shoe will come off.  it's a no brainer.    now, it does make a difference weather your buddy is a guy or a girl.  and what they are wearing.  if it's a guy and they are wearing an inverted baseball cap, then it's defenetly a point difference closed tied game.    if it's a girl, and she's wearing a wife beater, then it's just a closed game.    review your options  pray about it  hope that helped
