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

It is.
Unai Simon (Spanish Goalkeeper) actually holds the world record for 650 consecutive Worldcup match-Minutes without a goal conceded.
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

Yeah, and the english are not too happy about it.
OTOH, England made up for it with a spectacular Match for 3rd Place against France.
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
