I mentioned it earlier on I believe.
All score predictions count up to the end of extra time - so if the score is 1-1 after 90 minutes but a team wins 2-1 in extra time, everyone who predicted the winning team and the score of 2-1 would score points.
Draws will only score points if the scores stay level at the end of extra time. You will only get 5 points if you correctly predict the draw and the correct team on penalties so when predicting, you need to name the team that will win on penalties.

Is this a prediction for it to be 3-3 at the end of extra time?

It might be a good idea to include it in the "rules" section, I looked and couldn't find it there, even checked the 2014 rules post.

So how many points do you get if you predict the draw, but pick the wrong team to win? And do you have to predict the correct draw score (i.e. 1-1 instead of 2-2?)
Actually, there are even more scenarios:
a) correct draw score, correct penalty winner = 5 points
b) correct draw score, incorrect penalty winner = ?
c) correct draw, incorrect score, correct penalty winner = ?
d) correct draw, incorrect score, incorrect penalty winner = ?

Just a reminder that some players have yet to submit predictions for today. There is less than 30 mins left before the deadline for the first game at 2pm
