Did Gaelic football come from soccer?

Gaelic football has seen various rule changes since the GAA was founded in 1884. Included would be the amount of players being progressively reduced to 15; changes in the scoring system; removal of the outer posts that are still part of Australian Rules Football; Changes in the length of matches; Changes in how frees are taken; Changes in the types of fouls; Changes in how the ball is passed; Changes in the competitions;

All of these an many other rules have changed. The style and nature of the game has also changed, as have tactics. What would have been called the "Catch and kick" style of play has moved to more passing. In recent years we saw the emergence of the so-called blanket defence. The way teams train and prepare for matches has changed, with a much more committed attitude to fitness coming in. So there are a lot of changes in the game.
