Theoretically if we win all three games and El Salvador loses to both Iceland and the US we'd close the gap to 6 points with 2 international windows left. Of course, none of that is a given since the January games will see all of the teams playing with weaker than usual rosters. I suspect El Salvador has a lot of domestic players that will be available while Iceland will not be bringing a great team.
