and regarding penalty shootouts – they are called POST-match shootouts. And we give predictions for the MATCHES.
there's a catch here.
when the playoff stage begins, we will predict not only the matches but also who will advance.
Let's consider the scenario of predicting the result according to your suggestion (within 120 game minutes)
In the Uruguay-Portugal match, Vasya bet on a 2:1 victory for Uruguay, and Petya, who supports Portugal, bet on a draw. The match ends 1:1, and Uruguay advances after a penalty shootout.
As a result, Petya receives his 3 (or 2) points, even though his team didn't advance, while Vasya, who supported the winning team, gets nothing. We need to somehow compensate for this with points for correctly predicting which team will advance.
