In soccer, we often hear the term 'nil' being used instead of 'nothing'. This is primarily due to soccer's British origins where 'nil' is a common term for zero. The use of 'nil' helps to maintain the sport's unique vocabulary and traditions. It also helps to distinguish between a score of zero and the absence of score. So, in the world of soccer, it's not 'nothing' but 'nil' when referring to zero scores.
