Honduras coach Reinaldo Rueda hints he may quit if he and his World Cup-bound team are not paid a $1.3 million bonus promised by the country's soccer federation for qualifying.

Rafael Leonardo Callejas, president of the Honduran federation, has acknowledged the players and staff are owed the money and says he's hoping to make the payment within a week. He has not explained why the payment is late.

Honduras has three friendly matches in May and June in Europe before traveling to South Africa to play in Group H with Spain, Chile and Switzerland.
