For Africa at least it seems that a major reason they don't really give it their all is because they know they are gonna lose anyway, so why bother?
(The 1978 cup, where Argentina reached the finale only to get toyed With by the Dutch, futher reinforced this mentality.)
So instead of focusing on a League they are certain they Will lose most countries tend to focus on the Africa cup, a cup they in their mind can actually win.
