You're close and what you wrote makes a lot of sense. Don't give up!
Instead of what you wrote for the Uruguay match, you have to decide on one of the following two options:
1. Kiwilass Uruguay 2 KoreaRepublic 2
You'll get 2 points at the end of extra time if the teams actually draw 2-2. Any other draw (e.g. 0-0) will give you 1 point. The penalty phase is completely ignored for a draw prediction.
2. Kiwilass Uruguay 5 KoreaRepublic 2 PENS
Here you're predicting the actual penalty shoot-out score (and we ignore the score from extra time). So if Uruguay actually win the penalty shoot-out 5-2 then you'll get 5 points. If Uruguay wins the penalty shoot-out with any other score, you'll get 2 points.
Worth the gamble?

27 Jun...predictions before 11:00am AST please
* Germany 0 England 0
* Argentina 0 Mexico 0
Same as previous round... predict the score at the end of "normal time"...for 1 point (correct result) or 3 points (correct score).
If you fancy a flutter, there's now the additional option of predicting a penalty result for extra points! TWO points for correct result and a massive 5 (Five) points for correct penalty score! (Just add the word " PENS" on the end of the prediction!)

Well done to Ghana getting through to the quarter finals. That last goal was a cracker.
