How to store strings with spaces as a cookie in laravel?

I am trying to make a cookie but the team name I am getting from my database contains a space and it gives me this error : 'The cookie name "Czech Republic" contains invalid characters.'

and this is what I see in my url : http://localhost:8000/myteam/Czech%20Republic

The code from my view where I acces the route : 

 @foreach($teams as $teamitem)
    <a href="{{URL::route('storeTeamCookie', $teamitem->name)}}">
    </a>
 @endforeach

The code in my controller: 

public function storeCookie($team) 
{
  $cookie = Cookie::make($team, $team, 3600);
}

The code in my routes.php file : 

Route::get('/myteam/{team}', array('as' => 'storeTeamCookie', 'uses' => 'MyteamController@storeCookie'));

I fixed it with the str_replace() method

code in controller : 

public function storeCookie($team) 
{
    $team = str_replace(' ', '', $team);
    Cookie::queue(Cookie::make($team, $team, 3600));

    return View::make('myteam')->with('teams', $teams);
}

User urlencode and urldecode on the name when setting and getting the cookie/

$cookie = Cookie::make(urldecode($team), $team, 3600);
