British and American English treat collective nouns differently. To American English, "team" is a single entity, so the sentence would read "The entire team was laughing," in line with sentences like "One guy was laughing." British English insists that the collective noun implies that the subject is plural, so in addition to "Three guys were laughing" you also get "The entire team were laughing."

Thank you - my English is so cross-atlantic-contaminated, that neither team sentence sounds more or less wrong to me!
