I heard that Spain only allow one goal the entire tournament. I'm not into soccer but that sounds impressive.

That includes the World Cup in Qatar 2022. And no: Penalty-Shootouts don't count for a "shutout" (They lost the shootout in 2022 after a 0:0 against Morocco),
since those are outside of "match-minutes"

You know the old saying: Offense wins games, Defense wins Championships

Their best placement in 60 years!!
They are now a serious contender for the EURO in 2028, which takes place in the UK, so Home-Turf and all that.
As of right now (my take on it):
Favorites
Spain, France, England
Close (but not really Favorites)
Norway
Surprise-Teams (maybe)
Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium,
and maybe Germany, if they get their act together
LOL
The spanish are certainly poking the bear in the eye
First
the official "Winners"-Picture from the WorldCup (the one where the spanish raise the cup into the air), where Donnie didn't want to leave the stage, and Infantino trying to drag him off the stage.
What did the spanish do?
Used (probably) Photoshop/AI to remove him, and then posted the picture on all Social Media: official Post by the Spanish Football Federation.
No Donnie on the Picture.
Second
Iberia Airlines (Spanish national Airline) have an Airbus 350 in special "WorldCup-Livery"
The Airplane is painted in a kinda same way as the spanish national dress, and with other references to the WorldCup
What do i find this morning on FlightRadar24?
The very same Airplane in still the same paintjob on approach to Buenos Aires!
First comment on Facebook: COJONES!
LMFAO
