Near the end of the game Borgen and Schneider were talking at length on the bench after Schneider's 2 min shift. So it looks like two guys who are trying to learn each other. Vaakanainen was sitting between them. Wasn't an argument or anything like that.

Castle is more like the German 'Schloss'. Swedish 'Slott'

A 'borg' is a military fortification while a 'slott' is a residence for royalty or nobility. Obviously there can be an overlap but 'borg' points to the military purpose for defence of a city. Cf Swe. Fästning Ger. Festung which only has a military presence.
It's the same in Dutch. A synonym for the word 'burgt' Amazing Kreiderman mentioned (it's 'burcht' actually and both 'burcht' and 'borg' come from the word 'bergen' ie. to protect) is 'slot'.
