NIL question

I don't understand why they use the term "nil" for scoring in soccer. Why not just say "zero"?

It’s an acronym for No Inventory Logged.
It’s also an acronym for None - Ima Loser.

I have an even more interesting question.
When I was in high school in the early 80s my math teacher in calculus class explained the difference between nil and null.
Null equaled zero.
Nil was defined as greater than zero but incredibly small, less than one, infinitesimally small.
This was not just his opinion. This was in the math textbooks of the day.
Now, however, like so many other words, new generations think they can re-define and change words and concepts, because they have been taught by radicals that there is no truth, no history, no objective truth, just lived experience! It’s ridiculous.
Today I rarely if ever see both terms used. I just see the term “nil” used and their usage equates it to zero.
When and why did that change?

Nil has always meant "nothing"

The number zero/zed isn't the same as "nothing."
The teacher and textbook were the exception. Maybe pronouncing/spelling infinitesimal was an issue (like it is for me).
