Questions & Answers about ¿Ya no os gusta el fútbol?

Why does ya no mean "not anymore"? Doesn't ya usually mean "already"?
You are right that ya often means "already". However, when you put it together with no, the fixed phrase ya no means "not anymore" or "no longer". Here, it asks if their feelings about football have changed.
Who does the os refer to in this sentence?
The word os is the pronoun for vosotros, which is the informal plural "you" used in Spain (like "you guys"). It tells us who the football is pleasing to. If you were asking just one friend, you would use te instead of os.
Because os refers to multiple people, shouldn't the verb be gustan?
With the verb gustar, the thing you like is actually the subject of the sentence. This sentence essentially works like "Is football no longer pleasing to you guys?". Because the subject el fútbol is singular, the verb must be the singular gusta. You would only use gustan if the things they liked were plural.
Why do we need the word el before fútbol?
In Spanish, when you talk about a noun in a general sense, such as a sport, a concept, or a broad category, you must include the definite article. Because they are talking about football in general, it has to be el fútbol.
